   Y=1 X=word number - output a word from dictionary 1
   Y=2 X=word number - output a word from dictionary 1
   Y=3 X=word number - output a word from dictionary 1
   Y>3 - ignored, allowing other ROMs to respond to and pass to OSBYTE &19,x,0

Example code

On MOS 3 and later the font is always exploded, on earlier MOSs (Electron, BBC, BBC B+) OSBYTE &19 does not exist, OSBYTE &14 explodes the font and resets it. The following code will reset the whole font regardless of what machine the code is running on.

BASIC

     IF FNbyte(25,0,0) THEN A%=FNbyte(20,6,0)
     or
     IF FNbyte(25,0,0) THEN *FX20,6
     
     using the following function to call OSBYTE:
     DEFFNbyte(A%,X%,Y%)=((USR&FFF4)AND&FF00)DIV256

     LDA #25:LDX #0:JSR OSBYTE  :\ try 'reset all font'
     TXA:BEQ resetDone          :\ X=0 if done
     LDA #6:LDX #6:JSR OSBYTE   :\ 'explode full font'
     .resetDone
